With both Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Wild Hearts now out in the wild, Koei Tecmo has revealed that both titles have been reviewed well, going on to hit high sales.
While the exact breakdown wasn’t made available via April 2023 financial report, it should also be mentioned that the early months of 2023 have been slammed with new releases. This is why it feels like both Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Wild Hearts came and went without any lingering buzz.
Notably, Koei Tecmo teamed up with EA to release the Monster Hunter-inspired Wild Hearts. It is set in Azuma, a region directly inspired by feudal Japan filled and divided into different biomes or hunting grounds. Azuma is overrun by the Kemono, giant creatures inspired by Japanese lore who have begun to run rampant.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is set in the Han Dynasty era, and invites players to journey through the universe of the Three Kingdoms in a fictionalized and very dark story.
